Anyone else having problems signing in?

Yep I keep encountering the same problem. Happy YT has finally been added but that is frustrating.

Not much point in having the app of you can't log in

Fat 32 is fine. It was fine on PS3, it is fine on PS4.

Agree to disagree. There's plenty of devices out there that can read NTFS USB drives in addition to fat 32 and they work just fine.

I am someone who has a large NTFS external hard drive with all my music on it. Been waiting for custom soundtracks since launch, and was very excited to hear that feature was coming with this update. Plugged in my hard drive only to see it's not supported. My excitement was completely erased.

I swear the ******ng is reaching some levels of stupid...

Its not copyrighted (wrong legal term as that refers to creative content). And why would you think it would be stupid for someone to think NTFS would work? These companies ALL use technology owned by each other. MS is using bluray in their system, which Sony owns a huge stake in that tech. Would it have been stupid for someone to suggest that the X1 could have BR in it prior to the announcement, just bc of Sony's link to it? Its not like it would have been impossible to add NFTS support with this update

No it wasn't. Having to split up a video file bc it was over 4gb was always an issue on the PS3. The PS4 doesn't yet support that but if and when it does come, this will be an issue again bc of the limitations. At the very least, I don't see why exFAT cant at least be supported.

Does it work when you link YouTube with your PSN account? That is all I've tried so far and during the link phase, I had to login and that seemed to work.

I've tried it through the system only. My email & password are accepted & I see my account on the browser but once I submit it I get the error code.

This update didn't do a ton for me. YouTube was a great add and I love the COD: AW theme. Still wish that Sony could get the rights to have the WatchESPN app on the their store.

I found the default themes, but where are the CoD and Destiny ones?

Only on the US store as far as I could tell. I downloaded them with my US account they're not that great.

Yes, reinstalling the update worked for me. I can turn it on with the controller and wake it from rest mode now.

I couldn't find them in the store but when I went to themes and selected store from there it took me right to them.

[KingBing]

Question, in order to get the COD and Destiny themes would I have had to play the games or at least pre ordered COD? only asking because I downloaded them and when I went to apply them as my theme they both had a lock next to them and it would not let click on them. The other 3 worked just fine

That option isn't available in the uk as far as I could tell.

I had to do to PS store, then games, then themes for the three generic dynamic themes.

The cod and Destiny themes aren't on the uk store. I had to sign in to my US account to get them

exFAT, just like NTFS, is proprietary and owned by MS who can chose to sue companies that use it or parts of it on grounds of patent infrigement.
Heck, they sued companies in 2009 for some very specifc partial patents on FAT32 (which has an open licence).

Linux (PS4 OS is based on FreeBSD) has ext2, 3 and 4 but to my knowledge these are not upported by Windows, which would leave your average user out without a paddle to easily transfer files.

As a matter of both convenience and avoiding legal troubles with MS, FAT32 was (unfortunately) the obvious choice.

It's not that Sony "forgot" to support NTFS, as FreeBSD has native READ ONLY support via some open licence NTFS-3G I believe.

They purposefully removed it to avoid problems.

We can only hope that time will prove that MS won't be as Sue-Happy with exFAT and that it'll become a more open standard in the future.
It should also be mentionned that while more secure, NTFS is super slow.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot tonight.

I don't think you have to have the games. While I have Destiny, I haven't pre-ordered COD and both themes worked fine for me. Did you download the spiral, block and boat one as well and if so, did they work?

This happened to me also. But after a little while the issue was corrected and I was able to apply those themes. Give it another shot and see if they're working now.

Totally agree. Not holding out much hope for that to happen for a very long time, unfortunately.
